<v Speaker 1>Calaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Hey hair, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Now,

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're like Johnny Mack, the theme sounds a little

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>different today. What's going on? Well, on Tuesday morning, Johnny

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Mack's hard drive filled up and he deleted a bunch

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 2>of files and deleted one too many. You know what

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying is I had to go back to the

8
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>original cut of the music theme and now I have

9
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to go back in and find listen to what it's doing.

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Now let's listen. Yeah, we never get to that part,

11
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>so I have to go back in and grab what's

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 2>called a mixed down and get the smaller part. So

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>this is kind of fun. It is a Tuesday, coming

14
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 2>off July fourth weekend, and this is usually one of

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the toughest weeks of the year to Judas program because

16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>there is no news. So I will sock slow. Oh

17
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>we he just jammed in the band, all right. R

18
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Gejorvay said, I was asked to come up with a

19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>new billboard for the London Underground as our last one

20
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>was banned. This for his whiskey company. Whecky said, I

21
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>thought I should do a little bit more market research

22
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 2>before a waste company money and wondered will this be

23
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 2>too annoying for commuters? If so, I think I'll go

24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>with it. He then shared an image that said win

25
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>a million pounds that way you don't have to take

26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the tube. Hey, nice job, Nicki Glazer. This from ksd

27
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 2>K read slow John, you don't have a lot of

28
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>news today. Last week, when the air conditioning went out

29
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 2>at an East Saint Louis animal shelter during their heat

30
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>wave gateway, pet Guardians sent out an urgent plea to

31
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the community to help Wednesday Love. Last week, they posted,

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>this is a crisis situation. Additionally, we're receiving a large

33
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 2>number of calls about outdoor strays and heat distress. We

34
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>need a safe place to land. We need the community's

35
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>help right now. Part of that community, Saint Louis native

36
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Nicky Glazer the shelter, wrote on Instagram that Nicky saw

37
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>our reel, reached out right away, and came by Gep

38
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>as soon as she was back in town to scoop

39
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>up a foster. Looks like Egbert is settling in just fine,

40
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 2>cozy content and clearly in his comedy era. We are

41
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>truly so grateful for all of you. Nice job at

42
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Nikki Lazer. It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Back out tomorrow.

43
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Season seventeen eight episodes, and we get two episodes tomorrow.

44
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 2>July ninth, they were doing some press, Glenn Homerton talked

45
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>about how he almost left the show. Glenn and the

46
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>gang were at the Palely Live twentieth anniversary panel. Glenn

47
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>thought about leaving before season twelve. He told the creative team, look,

48
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to wear out our welcome. I

49
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>was worried that maybe we had sort of peaked or something,

50
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and I was just like, you know, we've been doing

51
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>this a long time, and I think I was anxious.

52
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't figured out yet how to stretch myself and

53
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>be able to do other things that I wanted to

54
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>do with my career outside of the show. I just

55
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>hadn't figured out how to do that yet. I was

56
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>aching to do other things, and so I was starting

57
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>to feel a little boxed in. Frankly, the rest of

58
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>the cast said they didn't want the show to end,

59
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>and he said, well, I can't stop you. And then

60
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>seasons thirteen and fourteen, I came back as an actor,

61
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>but I wasn't in the writer's room. During that period,

62
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Glenn went on The MINDI Project and Fargo. He also

63
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>did ap Bio, which is okay, but not you know,

64
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>that's not the most radical departure acting wise. Rob Mack said,

65
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>they just kept writing it and kept writing him in,

66
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and we're like, he's just gonna eventually say he's coming back.

67
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's what happened. You know what I'm talking about.

68
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Because of the implication, if you're not a fan of

69
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the show, I don't even know how to begin to

70
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>explain it. A short version, They've got a boat, some

71
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>women are on the boat. Glenn's character says that the

72
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 2>women will hook up with them because of the implication,

73
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>suggesting that something horrible could happen to the women. It's

74
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>a sitcom. Don't write me any letters, Glenn said. I

75
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>do remember that with the cruise ship scene with the

76
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>young girl where you actually had to see the implication,

77
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and actually that was one I was like, please, guys, don't.

78
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>There's just certain things as human being, it's just tough

79
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to stop. I don't remember I remember thinking the implication

80
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>conversation that you guys wrote was super super funny, or

81
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe I was like worried about crossing a line or something.

82
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Caitlyn Olson mcilhanny talked about her husband's name changed to

83
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Rob Mack. She said, I'm legally Olsen Macklhenny, but I

84
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>go buy Olsen, so I don't really have to change anything.

85
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>We can call each other whatever we want. Whatever makes

86
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>him happy makes me happy. Over the holiday weekend, it

87
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>was the thirtieth annual Nantucket Film Festival. Nice Work if

88
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>you can get It Ben Stiller and a group of

89
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>quote comedy all stars discuss their journeys. Ben Stiller shared

90
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>that he personally was dead set against a comedy career

91
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>because it's what his parents did. He didn't stick to

92
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>that all too long. Eliza Slessinger on this panel said

93
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>she was working a desk job and asked her parents

94
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>to help her buy a laptop for comedy writing. May

95
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Martin dropped out of high school to work at Second

96
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>City and tell jokes on stage. Amber Ruffin's work led

97
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>her to Chicago, then Amsterdam. Michael ian Black also on

98
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>that panel. Meanwhile, at Summerfest, Fortune Feamster was there. She

99
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>said she was there to address what she calls America's

100
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>fun deficit by encouraging people to connect with her and

101
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>with each other. She told The Journal Sentinel, I'm just

102
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>here to help people have fun. The one place you

103
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>can help with that deficit is at a festival.

104
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Right.

105
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations to Yaka of Samiranov. He's expecting his third child.

106
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Yakof Samiranov is seventy four years old. He already has

107
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>two adult children, Natasha and Alexander, from a previous relationship.

108
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>He told people, there's something magical about starting over at

109
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>my age. Most people are planning for retirement. Me, I'm

110
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 2>buying diapers, not for me, but for our future child.

111
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. Yes, my wife and I are having a baby.

112
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>People cut basking me, Yakov, how did this happen? And

113
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I say, same way, It always happens, just with more

114
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>stretching and heating pads afterwards. In Soviet Union comedy podcast

115
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Filler Fills You or something like that. Maryland Rice Cup,

116
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>you know her as Chloe on twenty four. You know

117
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>what I'm talking about? Jack Bauer's assistant there, Yeah, the

118
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>one that was always calling him. She's a comedian. Did

119
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you know that? She spoke to Entrepreneur magazine and said

120
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>when she's on the road. She does not want barbecue recommendations,

121
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>especially when I'm traveling alone. I'm like, you think I'm

122
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 2>going to go sit a loud barbecue and order a

123
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>beer in a big plate of meat? Who do you

124
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>think I am? We learn she was once roommates with

125
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Sarah Silverman. She told Entrepreneur Sarah was absolutely the better roommate.

126
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I was a mess. She was so great. I was

127
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>lucky that she allowed me to be there. She also

128
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>discussed working with Gary Shanling, who had such a specific

129
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>confidence in his humor and how he wanted the whole

130
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>world to be I remember reading the Larry Sanders script

131
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and going, I don't see the jokes. I'm not sure

132
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>if I'm getting this, And then when we did the

133
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>table reading, people were reading in character. Then it was like, oh,

134
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>this is my favorite humor ever. It's so specific to

135
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the character that it doesn't really work until you hear

136
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>them deliver it. It is indeed a slow newsday. I'm

137
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna pull gossip corner up here into the A block.

138
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>You know who was up getting pizza in New Haven?

139
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>That's right, you guessed correctly, Pete Davidson. He was at

140
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Sally's a Pisa. They share the news in their social media. Apparently,

141
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Pete Davidson signed a box and Sally's writing you guys rock.

142
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Sally's Humble bragged and wrote even New Yorkers make the trip.

143
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 2>A commenter was curious what Pete Davidson ordered the pizzeria

144
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 2>only said, let's just say he didn't leave hungry. Really,

145
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>nobody knows. Is it a secret? You can't just tell us,

146
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't know, Pete ordered two slices and a coke.

147
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>You can't just tell us. Also Gossip Corner, race car

148
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>driver Lewis Hamilton accused of giving a death stare to

149
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Jack Whitehall at the British Grand Prix. Apparently, Jack Whitehall

150
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>accidentally bumped into race car driver Lewis Hamilton moments before

151
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the race while attempting to mingle with the drivers. As

152
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the story goes, Whitehall had been signaled to pass through

153
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>by a team member, but then almost body checked the

154
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>seven time world champion race car driver Jack Whitehall. So

155
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>hold Sky Sports just now when I was being invited

156
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>to the grid and nearly body check Sir Lewis Hamilton,

157
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know whether I'm going to be invited back again,

158
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 2>but it was a very cold stare and staying. On

159
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Gossip Corner from New Jersey Monthly, they are confirming that

160
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Adam Sandler is staying in Montclair, New Jersey, not all

161
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>that far from my house, and I do teach a

162
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>college class at Montclair State University. Perhaps I'll pop over there.

163
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a great town, a great restaurant scene. There's great

164
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>theaters there. Maybe I'll pop over and run in Adam

165
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Sandler and be like, Hey, Adam, which of your movies

166
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>do you think are good? I'd be curious answer that,

167
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like if you got him, like really honestly, Like he's

168
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>gotta know, like Jack and Jill's not a good movie.

169
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll take fifty million dollars and make Jack and Jill two.

170
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't begrudge the man, but he's got to know

171
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>it's not good, right. I felt bad for him. He

172
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 2>went all in on uncut Gems and he didn't get

173
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>an award, and we could have had Adam Sandler dramatic actor,

174
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 2>and we let it slip. Anyway, He's in Montclair working

175
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>on untitled roommates project, which happens to Starr, one of

176
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>his daughters. New Jersey Monthly says neighbors have seen Adam

177
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Sailor spending time in the area. He's apparently shooting hoops

178
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 2>and Randa Park. He was also spotted filming in nearby Livingston,

179
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey at Nana's Deli, which owners say will be

180
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 2>closed through July ninth because of the production. Boy, that's

181
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 2>like a twenty five minute drive. Maybe I'll head over

182
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>to Nana's Deli and just stand there all day for

183
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 2>the movie. Nanez has been repainted with a sign that

184
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 2>says Beer and Baumbs, established nineteen eighty five, advertising deli

185
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>favorites like Matza, Ball, soup Chop, liver, Rubens, pastrami, and Kinishes.

186
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Livingston local We'll say that Adam Sadler has been friendly

187
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 2>to residents taking selfies with fans who shut up to

188
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the stet who I'm so tempted to go? According to

189
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>a cast notice, filming for the Netflix project goes through

190
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>August twelfth. A local resident who drove by the set

191
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>said it's exciting to have a little slice of Hollywood

192
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>in Elltown. Yeah. From the pod News newsletter, which if

193
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you're into podcasting, you should subscribe to, James Kridlin reports

194
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>for the first time in over decade, Michael Palin performed

195
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Monty Python material on stage at his hometown to a

196
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>packed audience for a podcast called Nobody Expects The Michael

197
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>Palin Podcast, hosted by longtime fan Greg James. On the

198
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Nobody Expects the Michael Palin Podcast, its chief weapon probably

199
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>a surprise. I didn't know it existed. Palin Palan did

200
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>a world exclusive reading of a deleted end scene from

201
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Monty Python's Life of Brian. That scene titled the Martyrdom

202
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 2>of Saint Brian. In it, Michael Palin struggled to getrough

203
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the scene without laughing Brian's fingers full of naughtiness, which

204
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 2>got laughter from the crowd. The Times of London went

205
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to go see Tim Minchin. He's doing a three night

206
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 2>set at the Apollo in London. Tim was disrupted by

207
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>some of the crowd shouting out details of a scientific

208
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 2>law he just mentioned. Tim said, you won't get this

209
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 2>at an oasis gig. He did three hours. The Time

210
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>said his on stage chat is jokey, discursive, rather too

211
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>rambling until he relaxes into it, and far more of

212
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the second half he takes us through his twenties in Australia,

213
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>writing songs that rarely resurfaced in the act. He first

214
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 2>brought to Britain in two thousand and five, hence the

215
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>tourist title Songs. The world will never hear spoilers of

216
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>the four Star at a five show, But though the

217
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>first half is uneven, the second is almost walla wall joy.

218
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>He is, in the words of one of his songs,

219
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>a rock and roll nerd. If you ever get an

220
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to see Tim Minchin, you should go. I caught

221
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>him a million years ago at the Chicago Comedy Festival,

222
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>which doesn't even exist anymore, and I was just blown

223
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>away by how talented he was. To meet him a

224
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 2>few times, hung out with him as serious, A cool dude,

225
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>extremely talented dude. And that is your comedy news for today.

232
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>that's it, and I'll see tomorrow. Now stick around for

233
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>this interview our sister.

234
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to bring forward and yours and give it

235
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 1>to you now. And he said, oh wow, that's great,

236
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>thank you. That's so generous of you. Car that's great.

237
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic. She said,

238
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>this is too much money, this is wrong. I don't

239
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>want anything to do with and stormed out of the room.

240
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, well, that's not what I expected. Oh

241
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 1>my god. So I realized from that that this was

242
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>not an easy thing to do. So I learned a

243
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>lesson from that, and I knew that I had to

244
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>do this authentically. I had to do it right, otherwise

245
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 1>it was not going to work. So that happened. And

246
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 1>then the third thing that happened was that I was

247
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 1>looking at my financial statements and I had more money

248
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>there than I was really using. It was sitting there.

249
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,

250
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.

251
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,

252
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>not for my people. So I thought, well, if I

253
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>have all this money now, why should I wait until

254
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then

255
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>it was a long process for me to come around

256
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to that. But that's what finally started this. And I said,

257
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>well I'll do it. Now.

258
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a little

259
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 3>bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.

260
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is a recording of the real events with

261
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 1>real people who I decided that I would bring forward

262
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the inheritance the money I had for them in my

263
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>will and made it a prequest, so it was a

264
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>chunk of money that they were going to get. Well,

265
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 1>they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I

266
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>was still alive to see it happening. So I saw

267
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 1>what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,

268
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I talked about money and happiness and how one can cognect.

269
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>And I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward

270
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.919
<v Speaker 1>to and give it to you, but what I want

271
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 1>from you is a plan so you use this money

272
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's really a big benefit for you. I don't

273
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 1>want this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind

274
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>of plan? I said, I want a happiness plan and

275
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>they said a happiness plan? What's that? So, so you know,

276
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>nobody has seems to have a happiness plan, but it's

277
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the most important plans you can get and

278
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be very complex. What is it

279
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>that makes you happy? What values do you want to pursue?

280
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, what goals and dreams do you have, and

281
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.799
<v Speaker 1>you can pursue them. And so I got them to

282
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>write a happiness plan. And then when I saw the plan,

283
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I gave them all the money all at one time.

284
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>And so then they took it and I watched them

285
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>with their plan. I saw all their plans, what they did,

286
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and how they became happier. And so you know, that

287
00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>had to be written about so because I wanted other

288
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>people to see what they did, so they too could

289
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing.

290
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.

291
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was a very very painful and sad story

292
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 1>because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter

293
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and she was hit head on by a drunk driver

294
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at

295
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and also

296
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 1>their daughter. They were totally totally wiped out, devastated, and

297
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>they died emotionally. They had decided that they could never

298
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 1>be happy again. It would be wrong to be happy.

299
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>They didn't deserve to be happy because their darling daughter

300
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>had been killed. Tremendously painful, awful, awful story. So they

301
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>were grieving six years later and I met with them

302
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 1>and I told them how much they had added to

303
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>my life and how much I was so grateful to them,

304
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 1>and that I wanted to expressed the gratitude and I

305
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 1>put them in my will and they could accept that.

306
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>And I said, but I want you to have it now,

307
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and they said, oh no, no, we can't accept it.

308
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>They turned it down. They turned it down. Well, we worked,

309
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 1>and I said, look, I'm leaving it open. So several

310
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>months later, I think his wife persuaded him to do it. Actually,

311
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you know, so they said, okay, we'll

312
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>do it because I say, we're going to wait until

313
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 1>you die, why not do it now? And they did

314
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that and it wasn't the money, interesting life, they said,

315
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it was the coaching that made the big difference, that

316
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 1>changed their mind their mindset from being so negative. You know,

317
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll never be happy again. We don't deserve to be happy.

318
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 1>And the coach turned there thinking their mindset around, and said, look,

319
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 1>you know it can be you can be happy again.

320
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And they started to get the mindset of happy people.

321
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>And now you cannot believe what these people they're traveling

322
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>all over the world. They're in Tahiti right now. They

323
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 1>climbed Killimungarrett. These people are loving life. And it was

324
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a major change. That is one of the most heartfelt,

325
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>wonderful results of the And in a sense she said,

326
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 1>the wife said, this prequest changed or saved my life

327
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>because we were no longer living, we were dead, and

328
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 1>this brought us back to life.

329
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean dealing with grief and many of us

330
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.919
<v Speaker 3>have I have. You know, when you're in those depths,

331
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 3>it's really it can be really difficult to find your

332
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.840
<v Speaker 3>way out of it. And you know, often it looks

333
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 3>like there isn't a way out of it, and you know,

334
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you want to map, right, and it looks like

335
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 3>this concept could be a good map for you, if

336
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.799
<v Speaker 3>that it sounds like it was for these folks. I

337
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 3>always like to end interviews by asking, is there anything

338
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.399
<v Speaker 3>that I didn't ask that I should have?

339
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 1>How can my listeners benefit from this book? What should

340
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 1>they do? What would be good for them? And so

341
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll answer that question. First off, think about happiness, think

342
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>about being happiness. Do you you deserve to be happy,

343
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 1>and you can be happy, but you have to make

344
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it as a choice. I'm going to increase my happiness

345
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.599
<v Speaker 1>just that if you make that realistically, I want to

346
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to increase my happiness that choice. And

347
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.400
<v Speaker 1>then talk to people about it. Talk to a husband

348
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>or wife, or a girlfriend or a friend, a therapist

349
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>or coach, talk to somebody about it and say, look,

350
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm made the decision that i want to be happier,

351
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like you to help me create a happiness

352
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 1>plan and then work on it. And it's not that hard,

353
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 1>but it is. It is challenging, but it's a wonderful

354
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 1>exercise and if they do it, I guarantee they will

355
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 1>increase their happiness. I guarantee it.

356
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.160
